Troparion to St. Valentine martyr
(Natalice in 270 AD)
You were a priest of our Lord Christ, *
When you were arrested and thrown in jail .*
You convert your jailer and heal his daughter, *
And you gave your life to God through martyrdom .*
Valentine, pray the Merciful *
May He deign to grant our souls hello!

For the date of the saint's feast, we chose the natalice date (birth to Heaven) in the more traditional Orthodox Church. The troparia of our invention are not written in rhymed Alexandrine, and can sing the traditional Slavic colors. We in the West many local intercessors who watch over us from also centuries. Many are, alas, completely forgotten. It is natural that we celebrate together with the holy Russian, Greek, Serbian or Romanian who brought Orthodoxy in our land. Often, these relics blessed saints abandoned, have, when they were revered and honored an icon, shown the grace of God through the miracle of myrrh.
That the prayers of our fathers in the holy Orthodox faith of the West, and our sponsors spiritual saints Eastern Orthodox acting together, lead us to the eternal kingdom of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit ! Amen!
